Global-i Thoughts on the Emerging Datacom & Cloud Services

Once again the super-charged world of Data Services saw some light at a TelecomHub's "Data Demands: Making a Strong Comeback" event last week.


The details of this event hosted by TelecomHub in Tysons Corner, Virginia is pasted below. By the way Global-i Consulting is now a participative member at this prestigious Industry Group. Check us out on their list of Participating Members by visiting their site at
http://www.telecomhub.org/participants.aspx?tab=participants

Global-i is committed via our Consulting Practice & Services in the Data Solutions space. As we know IP Trunking is gaining more and more momentum every day, so are other hot areas of Data Communications such as MPLS, Data Center Services, Backhaul, Enterprise Clouds, Government Clouds and Clouds in all emerging areas - Telephony Clouds, Video Clouds, Mobile Clouds, Storage Clouds and more. New competitors are getting active by offering SIP Trunking, VoIP Providers, Video Over IP Providers and more.

We see seven areas of focus as these technologies quickly shake out in the near term:

1. Virtualization impacting Computing Models and Costs

2. How to leverage New Data & Cloud Technologies, Datacenters

3. What applications can be virtualized

4. How to create smarter and more efficient Networks - Point-to-Point, Point-to-Multipoint, Campus Networks, WANs, MANs, Global Networks, Distance Learning, Higher Education Networks, Smart Grids, etc

5. Best-fit Data and Cloud Vendors

6. Roadmap for Emerging Data & Cloud Services

7. How to plan, acquire and deploy all this

At this early stage of New Data & Cloud Services development and deployment we encourage Vendors and Customers (OEMs, Telcos, Cable MSOs, Wireless Carriers, Enterprise, Vertical and Government Customers) to conduct Service Prototyping and Proof-of-Concept (Customer Trials) deployments.

Global-i's Thoughts & Consulting Services on M2M: The World of Connected Devices

It was interesting to hear the evolving perspectives on M2M or Machine-to-Machine at a TelecomHub event on this topic last week.

The details of this event hosted by TelecomHub in Tysons Corner, Virginia is pasted below. By the way Global-i Consulting is now a participative member at this prestigious Industry Group. Check us out on their list of Participating Members by visiting their site at http://www.telecomhub.org/participants.aspx?tab=participants

Global-i is heavily committed via our Consulting Practice & Services in the evolving M2M space. Just as Ericsson's CEO Hans Vestberg we also believe that M2M will move the vendor community into new markets and outstrip growth in its traditional areas. M2M is huge as we also see it! Wireless Carriers and all other Carriers will see a traffic surge along with new application revenues in conjunction with Energy and Utilities Providers, Enterprise companies, Vertical Market companies, Government agencies and individual Consumers.

We see four areas of focus as this technology quickly shakes out in the near term:

1. Smart-Grid, Smart-Metering and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) related to Utilities & Energy Service Provider Side
2. M2M Applications on the Enterprise, Government/Municipal Services and Vertical Markets Side
3. The 2nd area above leading into Mobile Clouds (Private and Hybrid Clouds) for Enterprise and Vertical Market Platforms & Applications Ecosystem including Development, Hosting and Management (including Cloud Billing)
4. M2M Applications on the Consumer Side with high penetration of Home Automation and Related Application areas such as (M2M on Automobiles and more)

At this early stage of M2M development and deployment we encourage Vendors (M2M Infrastructure, Chipset/Sim Cards, Devices, Meters and Platform/Applications) to conduct Application Prototyping and Proof-of-Concept (Customer Trials) deployments.

Promoting Investment & Innovation in Smart Grid

It was exciting to hear all the ideas and developments in the Smart Grid arena at the Breakfast Briefing on Promoting Investment & Innovation in Smart Grid, hosted by US Telecom in Washington DC on June 21st.

The panel was informative in terms of what are the key issues facing the Smart Grid technology and industry in general and what are some of the successes and setbacks. Seems like a few good opportunities have surfaced and made successful strides ahead. Here is how the panel saw the key issues at the event:

• What is the significance of recently announced national energy initiatives, including those from the White House, and how will they impact investments and innovation?
• How has the environment for industry investment changed in the past year or two and what factors account for such changes?  
• What is the general level of understanding among consumers of the Smart Grid or home energy management value proposition? 
• How should issues around privacy and third-party access be resolved and what are the implications of delay or balkanized rules?  
• What are the synergies that exist or will exist to drive further collaboration between utilities and broadband service providers?  
• What are the biggest risks to realizing the benefits of Smart Grid development and what can key stakeholders do to mitigate those risks?

It was clear from the panel that the Smart Grid industry has a long ways to go, although the technologies and applications are quite well demonstrated around the industry now. The Utility and Energy sector certainly sees high value for this development for their customers and all stakeholders, however they need better value propositioning to make the investment appealing among all other capex and opex investments. On the Telecom side, the Telcos, Wireless, Broadband and all other Service Providers/Carriers and OEMs (Vendors) are also excited to be part of this new opportunity, partnering closely with the Utilities and Energy providers but they need to see the value propositions convert into real gains via deployments and in turn the return on investment to become more appealing with time.
.

The Smart-Grid will be an area where Global-i Consulting (http://www.globaliconsulting.com/) looks forward to strongly contributing to in the areas of development, deployment and overall thought-leadership in this evolving industry. We are excited about Smart-Metering, Home Management System, Renewable Energies, Clean and Green Technologies, Cloud Computing, Hosted Communications, Broadband Solutions, M2M and many more emerging consulting areas where the Utilities/Energy sectors will work hand in hand with the Telcom/Wireless/Broadband sectors.
